This video convinced me to get my own Brother embroidery machine (trying to get the PE-800, though it's been a tough road so far). I'm so excited to start expressing my art through embroidery!! 🥰
Omg. I have had a Brother SE-400 for forever and had been having issues with the embroidery part of my machine. The bobbin thread was always breaking, the fabric wasn't staying tight enough....anyway...i had completely forgotten you needed to use embroidery bobbin thread. Duh! Have been embroidering away since watching this! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much I’ve been trying to do an iron on patch since I got my machine a few weeks ago. And yours is the first video that makes sense to me. Thank you
Oh wow. I think I need one of these. Husband is rolling his eyes at me. Lol. Thanks for the tutorial! I'm gonna start saving today! Btw...you taught me how to use my sewing machine that I had for YEARS and nobody could teach me how to use it. You are an excellent teacher and so easy to watch!
I'm so happy to have been part of helping you learn how to use your machine! I hope you're able to get into embroidery at some point soon too, it adds so much more variety to your projects. Thank you for such a positive comment
@@TockCustom Hi I'm so new to embroidery machines but my husband bought me the PE 800 for our anniversary. He wants me to do hats for his baseball team. My question is in PE Design 10 can you do like a yellow text with a white outline? I can't seem to get it to do that! Love your videos, you are a great teacher, I'm just a bad student!
My new PE 800 has been in the box since April! I have been so busy making mask, I had no time to try my baby out! Thank you so much! This is the best tutorial I have seen yet!
Sometimes the Thread wraps around the spoil itself, But it can be avoided by placing the felt first and then the spool. The thread will not break. Flawless!
That's a great idea. Typically the felt is used for when you do "Double Needle" stitching, which is fairly advanced, but if you can get it work on embroidery that's a huge bonus :)
You saved my ass! Bought a used machine, no time to read the massive manual and needed something done on a deadline. Horrors, I even ran out of bobbin on my first try! And wait! You told me what to do. Thank you so, so much.
Awesome tutorial my guy. Questions. What kind of adhesive you use? And also you mention you use black denim correct? If so what needle to you use in your brother?
Your channel came highly recommended on a Facebook posting. This has to be one of the most clear and straight-to-the point videos I have come across. You now have a new subscriber :)
Wow, I didn't realize these videos were passed around on Facebook! That's pretty cool :) Tell whoever shared this I said "Thank you!" - Hope you have a terrific weekend!
i use to work on industrial embroidery machines and i found your videos so relaxing, besides how meticolous u are, very well explained. i have a client with one of those machines, and i know they need all theese kind of instruction i will tell her about your channel!
Thank you for your efforts. One good tip to make border cleanup or residue less noticeable, is to use a base fabric of the same color as the border. You could also use acrylic paint in the same color as the border mixed with fabric paint applied to the edges after cutting to help not only to hide residue, but to seal edges. Liquid sealants could also help.😊 Thumb's up too.
I'm going to have to send you a Teflon sheet for ironing your webbing on so you don't have to worry about cleaning your iron as much. Great tutorial, my friend!
If I was smart during this tutorial... I would have just cut the webbing to the same size as the fabric lol - normally I'm not so fooling, but my brain turns into mud when I'm filming for some reason :P Hope you're doing amazing btw! Always happy to hear from you
Dang. I still use my old Brother PE 150. I use Amazing box and a few blank memory cards.- the square ones. The newer machines use the memory stick. It still works so I’ll use it till it breaks down. I would love to get a newer machine one day.
I know what you mean, both my embroidery machines aren't the current models, but they still work, so I just keep using them lol. I'll upgrade eventually as well :)
Hi, I'm 3 years late (Oct. 2023) and waiting for my Brother PE 80 to arrive. I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot. Could you tell me what needle you used for the embroidery on marine vinyl? It looks great. Thanks.
hi tock i guess my 1960s singer fastion mate embroiders too .i havent even tried working with the sewing machine yet..since i did a major over haul on it to get it running again...i currently rearranged my living room to work on stripping / re finishing my new /old singer sewing cabinet . im VERY VERY pleased that the machine fits the cabinet..so that was a big luck of the draw, and yes i did measure and did some thinking etc before i bought it;];];] there is ALOT i need to learn about this machine . but with your videos , you give me the step /step to make it happen THANK YOU!!!!!!
I'm so excited for you to have such a great new setup with your machine! Hopefully you're ready to start making some new and exciting projects! Let me know if you need any help along the way :)
I love your videos, I have a pe 535 and pe 800 and the embroidery was not coming out good but now I have learned so much in yours videos its INSANE!!!! Thank you for being honest and helping
Ive been trying to figure out patches forever. Thank you for this! I missed the kind of iron on webbing you added at the end to make the patches adhesive. Could you please let me know what it is? Thanks so much from a new subscriber!
Your bag is REALLY cool and gives me ideas about how we could use an embroidery machine. 💡😊🙌🏾 Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing that it DOESN’T have a presser foot. Would I be able to use it for all the other Upcycling we do? 💁🏾
My wife and I are huge collectors of geographic patches. Sometimes they are not available and this is a good solution. I’ll save the video for her. MikeinMinnesota
Thank you so much for your help on sewing machine and what do you need for a basket for sewing machine stuff my grandma had one but it's gone now and don't know what to buy for a basket for sewing machine stuff
Tock Custom yup loving embroidery just wishing the software was a little more like cnc and laser cutting as for a designer it’s a completely different way of doing things
Thank you so much! I didn't do a great job of showing how detailed this machine can get, but it's pretty impressive with multi-colored projects. Hope you have a great weekend!
This is the best video I have seen yet! Thank you for your clear instructions. I have a question. When Ironing the patches, can a heat press be used? If yes, at what temp/time? Thanks
Thank you so much! You can absolutely use a heat press for setting patches - if you're using denim or any cotton fabrics - set your press to 400F (or 205C). Some synthetic embroidery threads may melt at that temp, so if that's too high, you can step down to around 350F. Always do testing before risking ruining a good garment or project 😀
This is an amazing video...You are very good at explaining how to do things. If you don’t mind me asking. how did you get your start at sewing and embroidering ?? What made you want to learn how to do all this? You’re very good. I wish they still taught sewing in school like they did when I was in school...they still may at some schools but around my area they don’t anymore. I think it’s something everyone should learn even if they don’t want to sew things on their own. The knowledge is a great resource to have.
Thank you so much for watching! I actually put out a video on how I started sewing, and my business not too long ago. It's the only "Non Tutorial" videos I've ever done, but I think it'll answer some of your questions :)
Thank you for sharing. I followed your video and patches came out great. My issues is I apply heat and bond but when I try to press patch to anything it will not stick it peels right off. Would you have any suggestions on why this is happening.
This is quite a bizarre comment. I understand you want people to have more robust machines, but the difference in price is between a $700 machine, and a $12,000+ machine. Very significant difference, especially dependent on people's crafting goals.
Thank you very much for this video!! It has been a huge help. I must say its cool to see a guy who looks like a viking teaching embroidery! I thought the bag you made was killer. thanks again
you are GOD SENT!!! thank you i’ve been looking for a video exactly like this!! i also love your other embroidery videos but didn’t notice it was you/the same person lol! thank you again!!
Oh I'm so happy you found this! Hopefully it's helpful to get you started and making some great new projects. Do I look that much different than my old videos, or is it the new workshop? lol, doesn't matter either way, just curious :)
Dude!! You are my new favorite YT thing, fer SHURR!! I NEEDS MUST deck out my machines in stickers now. (Why didn't i think of this before?! I do it with all of my laptops!!) Why, OH WHY, did you not protect your iron from the excess fusible webbing??!! I almost CRIED when I saw that 😢 I keep a basket of woven fabric scraps near the board for JUST THIS REASON. Your channel is amazing. I cannot WAIT to take in more of your content. The fur-lined bag is awesome and GENIUS!! I plan to make myself a one-shoulder backpack, and there WILL be fur somewhere 🤭 and embroidery EVERYwhere, so I can be just like Tock!! ❤💜
Thanks so much! You say "Fer SHURR" like someone from the Midwest lol. Glad this was helpful to you, I'm self taught, so I don't always do things to proper way, but it seems to work out for me! I wouldn't mind doing another patch video soon since I've learned some new stuff. Anyway, thx for watching, and Happy Holidays!
I liked how easy you make it look. I do not have a USB which makes it hard. Not sure I have the right adaptor either. I have a PC 8500 Brother Pacesetter.
Thanks! With a bit of practice, it's really not too bad at all! I'm not familiar with your particular machine, but if its a Brother, it will read the same types of files (.PES files). Hope you get it all figured out :D Thanks for the comment!
@@TockCustom it's called True Embroidery 3 for Mac. It's been sitting a drawer for three years . I downloaded it but that's as far as it went ..can't seem to do anything else with it :(
Thank you! A couple of questions for you...Between the SE 400 and the PE-770, what are the advantages of changing up to the PE-770, other than the larger 5 x 7 hoop size? Is the quality of the embroidering better, faster? I see both machines use the cards, which I like, and they also both have usb ports for importing designs...does the PE 770 take bigger files and/or more files? Also, which video that you have made shows how to sew the patches onto cloth? I love your videos. So informative and you explain everything so clearly!
The advantages of the embroidery functions of the PE-770 or 800 are the reliability (less thread snaps, and stoppage), higher stitches per minute, can read from USB drives, hoop size is a big deal, and the overall finish and quality of the finished result is clearly more polished than the SE-400. Both great machines, but this is the best valued intermediate sized embroidery machine I've come across period.
@@TockCustom Thank you for taking the time to answer my question! It's good to get the information from someone who actually uses the machines. It's hard to get the info online.
Hi does black denim still require stabilizer? Which weights of denim is the right to use? Thank you! And sorry if those are dumb or obvious queations. Im a hand embroider who's transitioning to machine sewing&embroidery.
I've actually had success with anywhere between a 6oz to 12oz denim (which is pretty much all denim). Don't be afraid to experiment with different fabrics (just not knits), and have fun with it!
I was looking forward to this one! Really good tutorial for starters to get it rolling. I hope the embroidery community gets bigger through this! Though the part where you put the iron directly onto the permanent heat-seal film gave me a slight anxiety attack xD. A piece of baking parchment between the iron and the emboirdery plus film is enough to protect the iron from collecting residues. Would be a shame to get that onto ones next project.
Forgive me for giving you an anxiety attack lol - But everything worked out perfectly! Thanks for watching and all of your support. Have a terrific week!
Nice video..I don’t have this machine but I have a machine capable of doing this and wanted to learn how to make patches..now to watch your top stitch video!
Thank you! A ton of these principals will apply to many different embroidery machines, so this should give you some helpful tips for sure. Let me know if you need anything else!!
Thank you for a great video. Can you direct me to the top stitching for patching video. I bought a garment that had patches and they came off. I love the patches and would love to put them back on.. Thank you!
Wow...you are great. I asked this question after watching another one of your videos. I want to embroider on my B 780 Bernina which is a domestic machine with embroidery function to it. I am not necessarily interested in creating my designs but would like to help a friend out with embroidery on jersey shirts he wants his staff to wear when out on construction sites. I have an "art clip" and was wondering if you digitize design with custom motifs? Thank you Jasmine
nice tutorial, very cleare, i am brazilian and my english is very limited but you really help me, i'ts easy to undersand, i have no ideia when i start in my machine, thank you :)
Have you ever tried creating anything similar on a sewing machine, via freehand embroidery? If so, I'd be interested to hear how that went and if you managed to do anything you were happy with? I appreciate you have a dedicated machine of course.
I''ve had the thread wrap around the post, too. I've started flipping the spools over (the ones with the cone-like base) so that the bottom is to the left, and that's helped preventing wrapping around that post.
Thank you for the video. I’m just learning. I want to sew on to the back of jackets, denim and wool varsity. They are thick. Do you think this machine will sew on say a 10 inch patch?
This machine can only embroider. It can make patches that are 5x7 inches, but you'll have to use another sewing machine to sew it on. For varsity style 'patches', most people cut those shapes out of felt or wool and applique' them on... perhaps I should make a video about that... Thanks for the idea!
Very informative, good troubleshooting tips and advice. Tedious process cutting out the patches in the end. Where do you buy the material or parts? If it’s a store, do you plan on making a video on it?
All the fabric, stabilizer, and thread I just get at Joann Fabrics in the US. Most larger fabric stores will have everything you need except the machine itself :)
You can do so much more with the PE800 it is like a totally different machine. You can ever see in the design where the machine is currently stitching. The PE770 is an antique. I sold mine and got the PE800.
I'm certain that you can do more with the PE-800. Sounds like you're very happy with it. I wouldn't say the 770 is an 'antique' because it can still do a great job, but I appreciate your position on being very satisfied with the newer model.
I did the opposite, I sold my 800 and just got the 770 and it may be antique, but is way more convenient than the 800 coz it can use both USB Memory sticks AND Older Brother Memory Cards, of which I have lots, and the 800 can not do that, and I don't care too much to check were the stitch is unless when I get back and see the thread is broken, I just do as Tock showed here and fix the problem, and so far I have not gotten any single problem or issue with this machine.
Thanks for the video! I purchased a embroidery/sewing machine and have been to intimidated to try out the embroidery part! 🙈 I started sewing because of your videos and started my own business, thanks for all the detail! I would love to know what brand of rotary cutter you are using here? Also, have you ever used a coverstitch machine? I really need a good tutorial on how to use one and have been struggling finding one that goes into intricate detail.
You're so welcome! Embroidery is certainly a different set of information, but I'm confident you can handle it! I'm so excited that you've started your own business around sewing!! Let me know if you have a website, I'd love to see your work. I've never even used a coverstitch machine, but I REALLY want one :)
Tock Custom Totally just seen this🙈. I am working on getting a website ready! I kinda suck at that stuff, but I’ll get there! I have a FB group though. facebook.com/groups/243989636929247/?ref=share! 🥰
Great tutorial. I was gifted an innovis brother machine. I searched the videos but, couldn’t find the one you mentioned about topstitching around the patch. Can you help I’d like to watch it you were easy to follow not a lot of extra talk lol Also, what heat and bond are you using? I went to joanns today and I couldn't figure out what number pellon it was I saw some for home decor
Thanks! So I can't remember the exact number, but any fusible webbing with paper back should be fine - its just a temporary hold until you stitch it into place. The other video I referenced was the SE-400 embroidery tutorial I did - at the end, I ironed it on, and just stitched around the border of the patch onto a pair of pants. Pretty simple, but very cool looking!
Do you always use an embroidery bobbin thread? I use the same color bobbin thread as my top thread due to the fact that I can sometimes see the bobbin thread coming thru to the right side of the fabric in the embroidered area. I am definetly a novice when it comes to embroidering. Granted my machine is older. It's the Brother SE 350. I have had it for quite a few years. I try to keep it clean and use new embroidery needles when beginning a new project. It's also set up to embroidery only.
This video was so helpful! I am wondering do you always have to embroider onto fabric then transfer it? Wondering if I could put a shirt in the loop then embroider?
Hi loved the tutorial so glad to find someone I can follow so easily and who has brother machines 😊 I'm going to check out your other tutorial as well. Do you have any that demonstrate how to take the covers off a brother NS35 sewing machine? We don't have anyone in our area that will do brother machine servicing. I have the Brother NS35 and the Brother innovis 1200 embroidary machine. Need to know how to do basic maintenance on them.
Thanks for the comment Pug! I do have a video on Sewing Machine Maintenance - ruclips.net/video/VBmlXhnLzCQ/видео.html - most Brother machines work in a very similar way, so I hope it helps. I'm not familiar with your exact unit, but there is a good chance you can do it yourself :) Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
Is there a good place to buy embroidery supplies (thread, stabilizer, etc)? I've noticed a lot of sewing supply stores don't have much selection and I prefer not to use Amazon.
I usually get all of my stuff at Joann Fabrics when I need something fast. Otherwise I do use Amazon for a few things. Fabric.com has some options as well. Might be a good idea to make a list and call some local sewing and quilt shops to see what they have :)
Nice❤️ I have the Brother lb 7000 and my only wish would be for it to have a larger Embroidery Hoop. I Absolutely Love my Brother 🖤🖤🖤 I do a lot of Sewing so just an Embroidery Machine wouldn't be good for me. But I Definitely want to Upgrade soon so I will wait to see what is coming out next. Great Tutorial Thanks for Sharing ✊🏾 ❤️🖤❤️
I had the same situation with the Brother SE-400. Only had a 4x4" hoop, and needed an upgrade. So now I use both a LOT. Thanks for watching, hope you have a wonderful week!
I love the easy to follow tutorial, but have a question: how do you get rid of the gap between the border and the fill color? I've tried tweaking fabric tension, adjusting settings in my design software, and overlapping the two more, but sometimes I can't get rid of the gap. Any recommendations?
I usually make the border with a wider satin stitch to cover this. Sometimes the software doesn't do a good job of knowing how thick the thread is, so I thicker edge can help fill that gap 😀
I have absolutely zero intentions of doing anything embroidery related anytime soon. Or anytime in the far off distant future for that matter. I just taught myself (with the help of someone's vids) how to use a sewing machine last week and just hemmed my first pair of pants a few days ago, for cryin out loud.

Oh wow. I think I need one of these. Husband is rolling his eyes at me. Lol. Thanks for the tutorial! I'm gonna start saving today! Btw...you taught me how to use my sewing machine that I had for YEARS and nobody could teach me how to use it. You are an excellent teacher and so easy to watch!
I'm so happy to have been part of helping you learn how to use your machine! I hope you're able to get into embroidery at some point soon too, it adds so much more variety to your projects. Thank you for such a positive comment
Dude this is the best timing ever. I just got the 800 and a new surger. You are awesome...
Oh excellent, you'll already be off to a great start!
@@TockCustom Hi I'm so new to embroidery machines but my husband bought me the PE 800 for our anniversary. He wants me to do hats for his baseball team. My question is in PE Design 10 can you do like a yellow text with a white outline? I can't seem to get it to do that! Love your videos, you are a great teacher, I'm just a bad student!
My new PE 800 has been in the box since April! I have been so busy making mask, I had no time to try my baby out! Thank you so much! This is the best tutorial I have seen yet!
Now you can embroider your masks!!!!!
This will help you get into using your machine right out of the box!! There are so many amazing things you can do now :)
Totally!! Your masks are going to be super unique now :)
Sometimes the Thread wraps around the spoil itself, But it can be avoided by placing the felt first and then the spool. The thread will not break. Flawless!
That's a great idea. Typically the felt is used for when you do "Double Needle" stitching, which is fairly advanced, but if you can get it work on embroidery that's a huge bonus :)
I just bought a PE770 off of facebook marketplace for 100 bucks and this was a very useful video for me!
That's a great deal, happy this was helpful! Hope you have fun doing some fresh embroidery work 😊
You saved my ass! Bought a used machine, no time to read the massive manual and needed something done on a deadline. Horrors, I even ran out of bobbin on my first try! And wait! You told me what to do. Thank you so, so much.
Awesome tutorial my guy. Questions. What kind of adhesive you use? And also you mention you use black denim correct? If so what needle to you use in your brother?
Your channel came highly recommended on a Facebook posting. This has to be one of the most clear and straight-to-the point videos I have come across. You now have a new subscriber :)
Wow, I didn't realize these videos were passed around on Facebook! That's pretty cool :)
Tell whoever shared this I said "Thank you!" - Hope you have a terrific weekend!
i use to work on industrial embroidery machines and i found your videos so relaxing, besides how meticolous u are, very well explained. i have a client with one of those machines, and i know they need all theese kind of instruction i will tell her about your channel!
Thank you so much 😊 I appreciate the compliment and for sharing this with your clients!
Hope you had a terrific weekend!
Thank you for your efforts. One good tip to make border cleanup or residue less noticeable, is to use a base fabric of the same color as the border. You could also use acrylic paint in the same color as the border mixed with fabric paint applied to the edges after cutting to help not only to hide residue, but to seal edges. Liquid sealants could also help.😊 Thumb's up too.
I dont even have this machine yet i watched the whole thing. Makes the learning process easy to understand.
I'm going to have to send you a Teflon sheet for ironing your webbing on so you don't have to worry about cleaning your iron as much. Great tutorial, my friend!
If I was smart during this tutorial... I would have just cut the webbing to the same size as the fabric lol - normally I'm not so fooling, but my brain turns into mud when I'm filming for some reason :P
Hope you're doing amazing btw! Always happy to hear from you
@@TockCustom hey what webbing is that or recommended ?
BEST VIDEO EVER! I’m a beginner and this has helped me LOTS
Awesome! Thank you for the positive comment! Hope you end up making some great new things this year :)
The best video so far. My machine arrived yesterday and I'm ready to go. Thanks because I was a little nervous
Oh I'm so excited for you!! Hope you have some fun with making patches :)
Dang. I still use my old Brother PE 150. I use Amazing box and a few blank memory cards.- the square ones. The newer machines use the memory stick. It still works so I’ll use it till it breaks down. I would love to get a newer machine one day.
I know what you mean, both my embroidery machines aren't the current models, but they still work, so I just keep using them lol. I'll upgrade eventually as well :)
Hi, I'm 3 years late (Oct. 2023) and waiting for my Brother PE 80 to arrive. I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot. Could you tell me what needle you used for the embroidery on marine vinyl? It looks great. Thanks.
hi tock i guess my 1960s singer fastion mate embroiders too .i havent even tried working with the sewing machine yet..since i did a major over haul on it to get it running again...i currently rearranged my living room to work on stripping / re finishing my new /old singer sewing cabinet . im VERY VERY pleased that the machine fits the cabinet..so that was a big luck of the draw, and yes i did measure and did some thinking etc before i bought it;];];] there is ALOT i need to learn about this machine . but with your videos , you give me the step /step to make it happen THANK YOU!!!!!!
I'm so excited for you to have such a great new setup with your machine! Hopefully you're ready to start making some new and exciting projects! Let me know if you need any help along the way :)
I want to get an embroidery machine and after I watched this video, I really want one. Great channel.
Thanks for your help. Enjoying putting my old pe 150 through its paces u have made it much easier for me to get it going. Loving my new patches
Excellent! Happy this was helpful - hope you're having a wonderful week!!
I love your videos, I have a pe 535 and pe 800 and the embroidery was not coming out good but now I have learned so much in yours videos its INSANE!!!! Thank you for being honest and helping
Ive been trying to figure out patches forever. Thank you for this! I missed the kind of iron on webbing you added at the end to make the patches adhesive. Could you please let me know what it is? Thanks so much from a new subscriber!
Your bag is REALLY cool and gives me ideas about how we could use an embroidery machine. 💡😊🙌🏾 Great tutorial!
Thanks for sharing that it DOESN’T have a presser foot.
Would I be able to use it for all the other Upcycling we do? 💁🏾
My wife and I are huge collectors of geographic patches. Sometimes they are not available and this is a good solution. I’ll save the video for her. MikeinMinnesota
Oh that's a great idea! You could make any patch you want for all the places you've visited!
Thank you so much for your help on sewing machine and what do you need for a basket for sewing machine stuff my grandma had one but it's gone now and don't know what to buy for a basket for sewing machine stuff
Great tutorial just got an embroidery machine last week and now hooked.
That's awesome! Hope you're making some fun new projects already :)
Tock Custom yup loving embroidery just wishing the software was a little more like cnc and laser cutting as for a designer it’s a completely different way of doing things
A video I didn’t know I wanted to watch! 💖
Interesting. Helpful. No tedious blah blah blah. 👍🏼💖💗💖 Fabulous custom bag!!!
I love everything about your comment, thank you for watching and sharing your kindness
You are Superman without a cape in my book!! I have been wondering how to do this. Thank you❤️
You’re welcome 😊 Thank you so much for your support!!
Honestly you covered so many things I wish other people would even consider great video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this great tutorial!! I've been embroidering for several years and you just taught me how to make my first patches!
Wow, it's an honor to teach someone experienced how to make their own patches 😊
I’ve been looking forever on youtueb your video is easy to follow and you explain everything so well!!
Awesome! Thank you, very happy this could be so helpful :)
Absolutely fantastic tutorial!!! I had no idea how advanced this machine actually is and the embroidery looked fantastic!!! TYFS
Thank you so much! I didn't do a great job of showing how detailed this machine can get, but it's pretty impressive with multi-colored projects. Hope you have a great weekend!
This is the best video I have seen yet! Thank you for your clear instructions. I have a question. When Ironing the patches, can a heat press be used? If yes, at what temp/time? Thanks
Thank you so much! You can absolutely use a heat press for setting patches - if you're using denim or any cotton fabrics - set your press to 400F (or 205C). Some synthetic embroidery threads may melt at that temp, so if that's too high, you can step down to around 350F. Always do testing before risking ruining a good garment or project 😀
This is an amazing video...You are very good at explaining how to do things. If you don’t mind me asking. how did you get your start at sewing and embroidering ?? What made you want to learn how to do all this? You’re very good. I wish they still taught sewing in school like they did when I was in school...they still may at some schools but around my area they don’t anymore. I think it’s something everyone should learn even if they don’t want to sew things on their own. The knowledge is a great resource to have.
Thank you so much for watching! I actually put out a video on how I started sewing, and my business not too long ago. It's the only "Non Tutorial" videos I've ever done, but I think it'll answer some of your questions :)
Thank you for sharing. I followed your video and patches came out great. My issues is I apply heat and bond but when I try to press patch to anything it will not stick it peels right off. Would you have any suggestions on why this is happening.
Yes, your videos are always helpful. I want one of these machines now...
Buy a 15 needle Tajima or Barudan. This is Archaic
Thank you so much for watching! If you end up finding one you'll be off to a great start :)
This is quite a bizarre comment. I understand you want people to have more robust machines, but the difference in price is between a $700 machine, and a $12,000+ machine. Very significant difference, especially dependent on people's crafting goals.
I just bought an 800. I can't wait to start making my own patches!
Thank you very much for this video!! It has been a huge help. I must say its cool to see a guy who looks like a viking teaching embroidery! I thought the bag you made was killer. thanks again
you are GOD SENT!!! thank you i’ve been looking for a video exactly like this!! i also love your other embroidery videos but didn’t notice it was you/the same person lol! thank you again!!
Oh I'm so happy you found this! Hopefully it's helpful to get you started and making some great new projects.
Do I look that much different than my old videos, or is it the new workshop? lol, doesn't matter either way, just curious :)
Tock Custom i think it’s the workshop lol
Dude!! You are my new favorite YT thing, fer SHURR!! I NEEDS MUST deck out my machines in stickers now. (Why didn't i think of this before?! I do it with all of my laptops!!)
Why, OH WHY, did you not protect your iron from the excess fusible webbing??!! I almost CRIED when I saw that 😢 I keep a basket of woven fabric scraps near the board for JUST THIS REASON.
Your channel is amazing. I cannot WAIT to take in more of your content.
The fur-lined bag is awesome and GENIUS!! I plan to make myself a one-shoulder backpack, and there WILL be fur somewhere 🤭 and embroidery EVERYwhere, so I can be just like Tock!! ❤💜
Thanks so much! You say "Fer SHURR" like someone from the Midwest lol. Glad this was helpful to you, I'm self taught, so I don't always do things to proper way, but it seems to work out for me! I wouldn't mind doing another patch video soon since I've learned some new stuff. Anyway, thx for watching, and Happy Holidays!
Your videos are excellent! Love your teaching style…and your voice!
Thank you so much I have had my machine a year and have struggled to find a good video to do patches and that was brilliant 👍😀
I liked how easy you make it look. I do not have a USB which makes it hard. Not sure I have the right adaptor either. I have a PC 8500 Brother Pacesetter.
Thanks! With a bit of practice, it's really not too bad at all! I'm not familiar with your particular machine, but if its a Brother, it will read the same types of files (.PES files). Hope you get it all figured out :D
Thanks for the comment!
That looks so pretty. I have a husqvarna embroidery machine with software for Mac..but I have no idea how to use it
That must be a great machine - I'm not familiar with MAC's or digitizing software for them, what software do you use? People ask me all the time
@@TockCustom it's called True Embroidery 3 for Mac. It's been sitting a drawer for three years . I downloaded it but that's as far as it went ..can't seem to do anything else with it :(
Thank you so much. I love your thoroughness. Do you have a tutorial on how to design a patch?
Thank you for showing how to do this on a “lower end” machine (4” hoop) for all us mamas out there who don’t have thousands of dollars in a machine
What, no Brother Scanncut to cut out the patches?!.....uh oh....now I want an embroidery machine.....thanks for sharing.....✂️🧵
Oh I do have a scan and cut! Why didn't I think about using it for cutting these out!?
super helpful my dude. i've got the PE800 in some of my videos, but I'm not as good as you are with it!!!
but hey thats why i'm here learning
I totally have to watch your videos on Rug Tufting! Just subbed to your channel, looking forward to checking that shit out! 😊
Great! All of your tutorials are excellent and this one is no exception. Thanks for going to all the trouble to make this and post it.
It's no trouble at all! I love making these videos. I just wish I had more time to make more!
Thank you! A couple of questions for you...Between the SE 400 and the PE-770, what are the advantages of changing up to the PE-770, other than the larger 5 x 7 hoop size? Is the quality of the embroidering better, faster? I see both machines use the cards, which I like, and they also both have usb ports for importing designs...does the PE 770 take bigger files and/or more files? Also, which video that you have made shows how to sew the patches onto cloth? I love your videos. So informative and you explain everything so clearly!
The advantages of the embroidery functions of the PE-770 or 800 are the reliability (less thread snaps, and stoppage), higher stitches per minute, can read from USB drives, hoop size is a big deal, and the overall finish and quality of the finished result is clearly more polished than the SE-400.
Both great machines, but this is the best valued intermediate sized embroidery machine I've come across period.
@@TockCustom Thank you for taking the time to answer my question! It's good to get the information from someone who actually uses the machines. It's hard to get the info online.
Hi does black denim still require stabilizer? Which weights of denim is the right to use?
Thank you! And sorry if those are dumb or obvious queations. Im a hand embroider who's transitioning to machine sewing&embroidery.
I've actually had success with anywhere between a 6oz to 12oz denim (which is pretty much all denim). Don't be afraid to experiment with different fabrics (just not knits), and have fun with it!
Very enjoyable video. I appreciate your attention to detail. You've got a lot of patience! Very nice work.
I was looking forward to this one! Really good tutorial for starters to get it rolling. I hope the embroidery community gets bigger through this!
Though the part where you put the iron directly onto the permanent heat-seal film gave me a slight anxiety attack xD. A piece of baking parchment between the iron and the emboirdery plus film is enough to protect the iron from collecting residues. Would be a shame to get that onto ones next project.
Forgive me for giving you an anxiety attack lol - But everything worked out perfectly! Thanks for watching and all of your support. Have a terrific week!
I just got a brother 27 stitch machine for Christmas and then I see this video! Getting one asap!
Nice video..I don’t have this machine but I have a machine capable of doing this and wanted to learn how to make patches..now to watch your top stitch video!
Thank you! A ton of these principals will apply to many different embroidery machines, so this should give you some helpful tips for sure. Let me know if you need anything else!!
Thank you so much for the information about the skipped stitches!! Now I know how to go back and fix it!!! You rock Tock!!
Hi. Thank you for great video. I am totally new and just got Brother SE725 machine. You wouldn't happen to have videos using that, would you? TIA
This was a fantastic video! Do you know a good place to get the Fusible webbing with backing at 18:37? I'm having trouble finding a product like that
Thank you for a great video. Can you direct me to the top stitching for patching video. I bought a garment that had patches and they came off. I love the patches and would love to put them back on.. Thank you!
Wow...you are great. I asked this question after watching another one of your videos. I want to embroider on my B 780 Bernina which is a domestic machine with embroidery function to it. I am not necessarily interested in creating my designs but would like to help a friend out with embroidery on jersey shirts he wants his staff to wear when out on construction sites. I have an "art clip" and was wondering if you digitize design with custom motifs?
Thank you
Jasmine
Things are so much different than back when I was in the shop back in the 90s
Hopefully in a good way, but yeah... technology moves VERY quickly lol.
Thanks for watching :)
You made making patches so easy! Thank you! Which video showed how to attach using the running stitch?
nice tutorial, very cleare, i am brazilian and my english is very limited but you really help me, i'ts easy to undersand, i have no ideia when i start in my machine, thank you :)
Have you ever tried creating anything similar on a sewing machine, via freehand embroidery? If so, I'd be interested to hear how that went and if you managed to do anything you were happy with?
I appreciate you have a dedicated machine of course.
Such a great detailed video I ever seen on how to use a embroidery machine.
I''ve had the thread wrap around the post, too. I've started flipping the spools over (the ones with the cone-like base) so that the bottom is to the left, and that's helped preventing wrapping around that post.
Thank you for the video. I’m just learning. I want to sew on to the back of jackets, denim and wool varsity. They are thick. Do you think this machine will sew on say a 10 inch patch?
This machine can only embroider. It can make patches that are 5x7 inches, but you'll have to use another sewing machine to sew it on. For varsity style 'patches', most people cut those shapes out of felt or wool and applique' them on... perhaps I should make a video about that... Thanks for the idea!
@@TockCustom Thank You for responding! I’ll be looking out for the video!😃
Very informative, good troubleshooting tips and advice. Tedious process cutting out the patches in the end. Where do you buy the material or parts? If it’s a store, do you plan on making a video on it?
All the fabric, stabilizer, and thread I just get at Joann Fabrics in the US. Most larger fabric stores will have everything you need except the machine itself :)
Great Video! You mentioned you most always use "Black Denim". What ounce weight denim, and is it 100% Cotton?
You can do so much more with the PE800 it is like a totally different machine. You can ever see in the design where the machine is currently stitching. The PE770 is an antique. I sold mine and got the PE800.
I'm certain that you can do more with the PE-800. Sounds like you're very happy with it. I wouldn't say the 770 is an 'antique' because it can still do a great job, but I appreciate your position on being very satisfied with the newer model.
I did the opposite, I sold my 800 and just got the 770 and it may be antique, but is way more convenient than the 800 coz it can use both USB Memory sticks AND Older Brother Memory Cards, of which I have lots, and the 800 can not do that, and I don't care too much to check were the stitch is unless when I get back and see the thread is broken, I just do as Tock showed here and fix the problem, and so far I have not gotten any single problem or issue with this machine.
Do you still need the stabiliser with the vinyl? I Did not know what the plus or minus needle was for…that’s awesome. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
this was so helpful! i really appreciate you taking the time to show every little step and give tips and tricks along the way! thank you!!
Thanks for the video! I purchased a embroidery/sewing machine and have been to intimidated to try out the embroidery part! 🙈 I started sewing because of your videos and started my own business, thanks for all the detail! I would love to know what brand of rotary cutter you are using here? Also, have you ever used a coverstitch machine? I really need a good tutorial on how to use one and have been struggling finding one that goes into intricate detail.
You're so welcome! Embroidery is certainly a different set of information, but I'm confident you can handle it! I'm so excited that you've started your own business around sewing!! Let me know if you have a website, I'd love to see your work.
I've never even used a coverstitch machine, but I REALLY want one :)
Tock Custom Totally just seen this🙈. I am working on getting a website ready! I kinda suck at that stuff, but I’ll get there! I have a FB group though. facebook.com/groups/243989636929247/?ref=share! 🥰
Great tutorial. I was gifted an innovis brother machine. I searched the videos but, couldn’t find the one you mentioned about topstitching around the patch. Can you help I’d like to watch it you were easy to follow not a lot of extra talk lol Also, what heat and bond are you using? I went to joanns today and I couldn't figure out what number pellon it was I saw some for home decor
Thanks! So I can't remember the exact number, but any fusible webbing with paper back should be fine - its just a temporary hold until you stitch it into place.
The other video I referenced was the SE-400 embroidery tutorial I did - at the end, I ironed it on, and just stitched around the border of the patch onto a pair of pants. Pretty simple, but very cool looking!
Do you always use an embroidery bobbin thread? I use the same color bobbin thread as my top thread due to the fact that I can sometimes see the bobbin thread coming thru to the right side of the fabric in the embroidered area. I am definetly a novice when it comes to embroidering. Granted my machine is older. It's the Brother SE 350. I have had it for quite a few years. I try to keep it clean and use new embroidery needles when beginning a new project. It's also set up to embroidery only.
I wonder if you could use a heat press instead of an iron whenever you put the backing onto the fabric?
This video was so helpful!
I am wondering do you always have to embroider onto fabric then transfer it? Wondering if I could put a shirt in the loop then embroider?
Thank you for this tutorial! I'm considering buying an embroidery machine for myself, but I'm probably going to start with a cheaper model. The se700.
You hope it was helpful?! BEYOND!!!! Thank you for such a thorough tutorial!
Hi loved the tutorial so glad to find someone I can follow so easily and who has brother machines 😊 I'm going to check out your other tutorial as well. Do you have any that demonstrate how to take the covers off a brother NS35 sewing machine? We don't have anyone in our area that will do brother machine servicing. I have the Brother NS35 and the Brother innovis 1200 embroidary machine. Need to know how to do basic maintenance on them.
Thanks for the comment Pug! I do have a video on Sewing Machine Maintenance - ruclips.net/video/VBmlXhnLzCQ/видео.html - most Brother machines work in a very similar way, so I hope it helps. I'm not familiar with your exact unit, but there is a good chance you can do it yourself :)
Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
New subscriber here. Thinking about taking up sewing. Your instructions are very clear.
Is there a good place to buy embroidery supplies (thread, stabilizer, etc)? I've noticed a lot of sewing supply stores don't have much selection and I prefer not to use Amazon.
I usually get all of my stuff at Joann Fabrics when I need something fast. Otherwise I do use Amazon for a few things. Fabric.com has some options as well. Might be a good idea to make a list and call some local sewing and quilt shops to see what they have :)
I buy my stabilizer off Amazon and my thread from metro.com
Nice❤️
I have the Brother lb 7000 and my only wish would be for it to have a larger Embroidery Hoop.
I Absolutely Love my Brother 🖤🖤🖤
I do a lot of Sewing so just an Embroidery Machine wouldn't be good for me.
But I Definitely want to Upgrade soon so I will wait to see what is coming out next.
Great Tutorial
Thanks for Sharing ✊🏾
❤️🖤❤️
I had the same situation with the Brother SE-400. Only had a 4x4" hoop, and needed an upgrade. So now I use both a LOT. Thanks for watching, hope you have a wonderful week!
I love the easy to follow tutorial, but have a question: how do you get rid of the gap between the border and the fill color? I've tried tweaking fabric tension, adjusting settings in my design software, and overlapping the two more, but sometimes I can't get rid of the gap. Any recommendations?
I usually make the border with a wider satin stitch to cover this. Sometimes the software doesn't do a good job of knowing how thick the thread is, so I thicker edge can help fill that gap 😀
Very good, great help
Happy to help! Thanks for watching :)
